RC Beam Design (BS8110)

This document provides calculations for the design of a reinforced concrete beam with a rectangular cross-section. The beam has a width of 300mm and depth of 500mm. Reinforcement details include 2 x 12φ bars in tension and 2 x 8φ shear legs spaced at 300mm centers. Calculations are shown for the design moment resistance, shear resistance, and spacing of reinforcement to verify the design satisfies code requirements. Key values such as the required and provided areas of tension and shear reinforcement are calculated and compared.

Value of v from Table 3.7; 0.5 v c < v < (v c + 0.4 N/mm 2 )
Design shear resistance required; v s = max(v - v c, 0.4 N/mm 2 ) = 0.400 N/mm 2
